Call me cynical but it sounds like George isn't even waiting for the 1.0 release before he starts making alterations and revising his original vision for the film! *sigh*Anchorhead said:
Lucas, who is also producing and financing, needs reshoots and must do them himself. According to two sources close to the project, Hemingway was hoping to stay on for the redos, but was already committed to direct episodes of David Simon's New Orleans series Treme for HBO. (Lucas wasn't willing to wait.)
Lucasfilm confirms the directorial shift, which FirstShowing.net broke, but denies any conflict with Hemingway, saying Lucas and producer Rick McCallum will oversee the reshoot — with Hemingway's approval
With Hemingway's approval. Sure.
Not sure where you're going with this. The majority of films have reshoots before they're done.
